Yes in own room for induction, labour (attempt) and then after surgery. Then up to postnatal ward in own room again. X

Yeah I had an emergency c section after being induced 2 weeks ago there. Considering my circumstances I had a really positive experience. The midwives doctors and nurses were all brilliant and made sure I was safe, knew what was happening and happy the whole time and also yes I had my own room. You’ll be absolutely fine ✨💞

Yes i did 9 weeks ago. Cant thank them enough they were amazing as it turned into emergency c section. Hospital is so nice, get your own room and it's just great after care in my experience ❤️ midwives etc there and drs were brill. Xx

Yes an elective 3 weeks ok

Bay of 3 of immeadiate recovery then moved to postnatal . I was moved quicker than usual as my dad died while i was in surgery. The team there are fanastic and couldnt rate it highly enough. Theres a reclining armchair type thing for the dads to sleep on to in the rooms :)

I had an elective c section back in July and had a very positive experience, the surgeon, anaesthetist and all the midwives and support staff were brilliant. They did everything they could to make it a positive and calm experience for us.
We went down at 9am and back in recovery by 10:10am and then to our own private room. We stayed for two nights.
The maternity support worker Karen Atkins is so so lovely! Look out for her 🙂

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w
